No apparent damage, but I've not had it running. The vendor assures me it's a good 'un, but then they always do, don't they Grin

Anyone know what the exhaust options are for the Turbo? I've not seen anyone else's conversion with one yet and the stock header on mine looks spannered. I'm not sure that the position of the turbo above the flywheel is compatible with the van...
